4. Rule 12 of the International Collision Regulations prescribes the action to be

taken by a sailing vessel when meeting another sailing vessel. This depends
on the direction of the wind relative to each vessel. In the situation shown
here, which sailing vessel (A or B) must keep out of the way of the other?
a. Sailing vessel A must keep out of the way of sailing vessel B.
b. Sailing vessel B must keep out of the way of sailing vessel A.
c. Both sailing vessels are required to take avoiding action.
d. The upwind sailing vessel must keep out of the way of the downwind
sailing vessel.
5. The following vessels are all required to make the same sound signal when
in or near an area of restricted visibility: a vessel not under command; a
vessel restricted in her ability to manoeuvre; a vessel constrained by her
draught / a sailing vessel; a vessel engaged in fishing; a vessel engaged in
towing or pushing another vessel. What is that signal?
a. One prolonged blast, followed by two short blasts, at intervals of not
more than two minutes.
b. Two prolonged blasts, followed by one short blast, at intervals of not
more than two minutes.
c. One prolonged blast at intervals at not more than two minutes.
d. One prolonged blast, followed by two short blasts, at intervals of not
more than one minute.
6. The lights displayed here indicate that this is one of two types of vessel.
What are the two options?
a. A power-driven vessel engaged in towing, less than 50 metres in
length, length of tow under 200 metres, towing vessel and tow
restricted in their ability to manoeuvre, seen head-on OR a power-
driven vessel underway, more than 50 metres in length, or less than
50 metres in length and showing a second masthead light, restricted
in her ability to manoeuvre, seen head-on.
b. A power-driven vessel engaged in towing, more than 50 metres in
length, or less than 50 metres in length and showing a second

masthead light, length of tow under 200 metres, seen head-on OR a

power-driven vessel underway. Less than 50 metres in length and
displaying the second all-round white masthead light, seen head-on.
c. A vessel engaged in fishing, restricted in her ability to manoeuvre,
shooting nets OR a vessel engaged in towing, less than 50 metres in
length, length of tow under 200 metres, towing vessel restricted in
her ability to manoeuvre, seen head-on.
d. A vessel engaged on pilotage duty, engaged in deploying or
recovering a pilot, seen head-on or a power-driven vessel underway,
lmore than 50 metres in length or less than 50 metres in length and
showing the second masthead light, seen head-on.
7. The lights here show those that must be exhibited by a vessel engaged in
towing, as per rule 24 of the International Collision Regulations. But how
long is the tow behind this vessel?
a. It exceeds 200 metres.
b. It is less than 200 metres.
c. It is more than 50 metres but less than 200 metres.
d. At least 100 metres.
8. This vessel is encountered at the mouth of a river which leads to your
discharge port. What do the various shapes tell you?
a. This is a vessel engaged in dredging or underwater operations. The
two balls in a vertical line indicate the side on which an obstruction
exists; the two diamonds in a vertical line indicate the side on which
it is safe to pass; the ball / diamond / /ball in a vertical line indiacte
that the vessel is restricted in her ability to manoeuvre.
b. This is a vessel engaged in dredging or underwater operations. The
two balls in a vertical line indicate the side on which it is safe to
pass; the two diamonds in a vertical line indicate the side on which
an obstruction exists; the ball / diamond / ball indicate that the vessel
is restricted in her ability to manoeuvre.
c. This is a vessel engaged on port security duties. The two balls in a
vertical line indicate that the port is closed; the two diamonds in a
vertical line indicate that the port is engaged in mine-clearance

operations; the ball / diamond / ball in a vertical line indicate that the
vessel is restricted in her ability to manoeuvre.
d. This is a vessel engaged in mine-clearance opetrations. The two
balls in a vertical line indicate that it has a sweep mechanism
deployed; the two diamonds in a vertical line indicate that the vessel
should be given a clearance of at least 1000 metres; the ball /
diamond / ball indicate that the vessel is restricted in her ability to
manoeuvre.
